Matt Miller elected the Willis H. Carrier Professor in Engineering at Cornell
As a professor of Mechanical and Aerospace Engineering at Cornell, Matt's research focuses on the development of tools that enable the design and selection of structural materials, particularly metals, with an emphasis of his work is the use of synchrotron x-rays and in-situ mechanical loading so as to understand the crystal level mechanical state of alloys during deformation.
CHESS and CLASSE scientists take part in Expanding Your Horizons 2022
The 2022 EYH conference took place on April 9th. The event consisted of speakers, workshops, demonstrations, and lab tours geared towards motivating young scientists to get involved in STEM. Students participate in two or three workshops organized by Cornell students and faculty, tour state-of-the-art lab facilities on Cornell’s Ithaca campus, connect with peers and mentors, and learn that anyone with a curious mind has what it takes to pursue a future in STEM.
